A landmark work in the history of Russian radicalism, Daughter of a Revolutionary chronicles the life of Natalie Herzen, daughter of the celebrated Russian émigré thinker Alexander Herzen, and her entanglement with the notorious Bakunin-Nechayev circle. Edited and introduced by historian Michael Confino, the volume presents a rich collection of letters, documents, and firsthand accounts that illuminate the inner world of nineteenth-century European revolutionary networks. Translated by Hilary Sternberg and Lydia Bott, the work brings to English-speaking audiences a vivid portrait of ideological passion, personal betrayal, and the tumultuous politics of anarchism and nihilism. Confino's meticulous editorial hand situates Natalie's experiences within the broader currents of Russian radical thought, arguing for her significance as both a witness and a participant in one of history's most turbulent political movements. The result is an authoritative and deeply human account of revolution as it was lived from the inside.
